Hello, all:
Swallowing my pride and asking for help is a very hard thing to do, and I hate that I’ve had to do it so often in the last year. But unfortunately, for the happiness of me and my family, it’s something that I will have to do again.
For anyone that doesn’t know -
Since the day he was born, my son Julian has had a smile on his face; he’s a bright, loving child who never stops laughing and running around.
In the spring of 2022, however, that changed. Suddenly, he was in constant and agonizing pain - he stopped smiling, stopped laughing, stopped running around, stopped being the little ball of sunshine we’ve always known him to be, and couldn’t make it from his bed to the sofa without being carried.
He couldn’t even make it through a single night without waking up screaming in pain.
He was four years old.
After months of tests and chronic pain, Julian was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and has been going throw daily chemo and other cancer treatments since then.
Being a single parent, I haven’t been able to work; I’ve tried my best to save as much as I can, but obviously money has been tight. We are based in England at the moment but have been planning on moving to the United States as soon as the doctors say it is safe for Julian to travel to be close to my own family. Unfortunately, the various travel costs are too high for us to afford at the moment.
These costs include sending our belongings overseas, the travel itself, and - most importantly to Julian - shipping his beloved cat.
It’s been hard to properly explain to Jules what he’s been going through - he’s autistic, and oftentimes can’t comprehend why he’s feeling the way he’s feeling. Because of this, the emotional support Julian receives from Fabien (shown with Julian above) has been just as important of a support system as our friends and family.
Fabien, lovingly called ‘Baby Cat’ by Julian, has been with him through it all; the idea that I’d have to separate them solely because I can’t afford to ship him breaks my heart - I need to somehow find close to $6,000 to afford all the travel costs.
My paypal is here and my ko-fi is here.
Any and all assistance that anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated - even if that’s just sharing this post.
Hey guys, happy black history month!
I hate to beg but I recently went back to college and I’m paying super high interest rates for loans because I’m an immigrant and I don’t have a super lengthy credit history.
You might recognize these from edits/pinterest/telegram etc. I made them! So if you’ve ever wanted to support my work, you can share this post around and/or tip me on ko-fi. anything is super appreciated and goes towards my student loans ♡

I get jealous really easily but not like an angry vengeful jealous more like a really sad lonely jealous because everybody likes everybody more than they like me and I really really don’t blame them.
If you are an adult on the receiving end of sexual attention from a minor, the only appropriate response is a firm, non-negotiable “no.” Not an “I would, but the darn law…” not, “maybe when you’re eighteen,” a “no.” It is your job as the adult to be responsible, and to not abuse the power differential between you. What the minor wants is irrelevant to your obligations. The only appropriate response is “no.”
